Recently, in the French election, a neo-nazi secured second place in the Presidential contest, so there is reason to keep an eye on world affairs.
Also, I was less trying to support other democratic processes and more highlighting the arrogance of your post, in that you just assumed that everyone wanted to talk about the US presidential elections: that was all there was to politics.
I should think even you would be interested in the Iraqi constitution that was due to be voted in this week (and has been postponed).
There is more to politics, even for a US citizen, than just elephants and donkeys.
